Parco Virgiliano, Historical park in Piedigrotta, Naples, Italy
The park contains ancient Roman structures, including a columbarium and the Neapolitan Crypt, situated behind Santa Maria di Piedigrotta church.
The park was established in 1930 to commemorate the two-thousandth anniversary of Virgil's death and underwent restoration in 1976.
The park houses both the traditional burial site of Roman poet Virgil and the confirmed tomb of Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi from 1837.
